Left inlet with a following sea so not a bad ride. The fishing area was rougher than expected, 8-10 feet. Started fishing south with the waves which was not that terrible but turning to circle a bite was a disaster. Put lines in about 2 miles beyond 90 foot drop and fished south to 530 line. I had a crew of three of our finest from Bragg and a 10 year old son. I was concerned about the son and had told his father I did not recommend him to go the day before. The son came and did better than the men. He was the last one to get sea sick. Put lines in around 8 and by 11:15 had 9 dolphin and 2 nice wahoo. They decided they had enough fish and enough of the ocean so we started home at 11:30. The ride home was an adventure with a hefty head sea. All in all we made it back and they were happy with the catch and the site of land. Had one for today, Sunday, but one butt kicking a weekend is enough.
